Set-Up
Page Length Control:
Where cut sheets are being fed from above
(Top Feed), the page length can be set via the menu or program
commands (by Menu Setting). If, however, you set the value by
Actual Page Length
commands (by Menu Setting). If, however, you set the value by
Actual Page Length
, the page length is automatically detected by
means of the end of page sensor.
Graphics:
Select Uni-directional (from left to right only) to achieve
more precise registration of graphics. With Bi-directional, the
printing speed is increased.
printing speed is increased.
Receive Buffer Size:
Selects the volume of the receive buffer. If you
set a large size for the receive buffer, the system can send greater
volumes of data to the printer which then stores it in the buffer; the
printer is ready to receive data for a longer period and the transfer
of data from the computer is therefore not interrupted. If the receive
buffer becomes full, however, the printer is not ready to receive for
a longer period because of the large volume of data in the buffer
which it has to process. If your system issues an error message
when the buffer is set to a large size (e.g. unit error through time-
out), you need to set a smaller buffer. The result is that the time
intervals during which the printer is not ready to receive are short-
er. Your system is consequently able to send data to the printer at
shorter intervals.

In general, it is advisable to set the receive buffer as small as possi-
ble where the computer places the print data in temporary storage
(»spooling«) by means of a print manager, for example. This ap-
plies to large and medium-sized data processing systems and when
the printer is used in a network.

Paper Out Override:
If the paper end sensor detects that there is
less than 1 inch (2.54 cm) of paper left in the printer, it stops a cur-
rent print job. If you set Yes, the sensor is deactivated thus enabling
you to print to the bottom edge of the page when using cut sheets of
paper. Make sure when setting Yes that the printer does not print
on the platen.

Print Registration:
Use this item during bi-directional printing in
order to improve the horizontal registration. Normally, the appro-
priate value is 0, although by setting another value you can allevi-
ate possible registration problems when printing graphic data.
